The PACE Service, in collaboration with the Campbelltown Library, is pleased to present the following free community education session:

Thriving in a crisis: Strategies for managing worry, stress and anxiety

In times of crisis it’s normal to feel worried, stressed and anxious, and the COVID-19 pandemic is serious crisis. It’s dramatically changed the way we live, and created a huge amount of uncertainty. The way we deal with the worry, stress and anxiety caused by the crisis will have a significant impact on our mental health and our quality of life, so it’s important to have strategies which will help us deal with them effectively.

Offered by Centacare’s PACE Service, Thriving in a Crisis will introduce you to strategies which will enable you to thrive during the current crisis and beyond.

The session will be streamed live via Zoom on Tuesday the 9th of June from 11.00am – 12.00pm.

The PACE Service is pleased to offer a free webinar – “6 Steps to Conscious Eating”. The session will provide information and ideas on how to eat with care for our bodies, particularly during stressful times, like the recent COVID-19 crisis.

Invitation to contribute to OCD research

Brianna Toohey, a provisional psychologist and postgraduate student at the Australian College of Applied Psychology (ACAP), is conducting research into whether certain factors influence levels of accommodation of OCD behaviours in partners, and investigating the reasons why partners may accommodate these behaviours. The study involves completing an online questionnaire twice, three months apart.

As a precaution against the COVID-19 virus, PACE has made the decision to cancel all face to face appointments, support groups and presentations until further notice. While these services are on hold, PACE will offer telephone and video appointments, and online support groups. PACE will offer four online support groups:

As a precaution against the COVID-19 virus, PACE has made the decision to cancel all support groups, face to face appointments and presentations until April 30. We are available for telephone appointments, so if you would like to make an appointment call us on 8303 6660 or send an email to pace@centacare.org.au. The situation is likely to change over the coming days and weeks, and we will keep you informed of any changes as they occur.

After much consideration we have decided that we will not continue to offer our DAIR Hoarding Recovery Support Groups in 2020. Attendance at the groups has fallen over the last few months, and we can’t continue to run the groups when demand isn’t there. We are a small team with limited resources, and we believe that those resources will better utilised in other areas. All three DAIR groups will finish at the end of the year, and the last session for the groups will be as follows:

Morphett Vale: December 4

Seaton: December 11

Modbury: December 13

We understand that this decision will be distressing for some people, and we apologise for any distress caused.
